- Summary:
- Edward VII spent 59 years as Prince of Wales, but only nine as King of England. In this biography of Edward--"the Caresser" in Henry James's coinage--Stanley Weintraub explains how a lazy, irresponsible playboy became a beloved monarch whose name defines the era of his reign. Despite it all the public loved him, and Weintraub's candid portrait reveals an instinctive diplomat, and a surprisingly admirable man. Photos.
